4.2 (a) (i) Rostered shift workers and those employees who perform regular on call will be paid at double the ordinary base rate of pay for all work undertaken outside normally rostered hours. 4.2 (c) All employees shall be paid for all overtime worked on Saturdays or Sundays, or if required by the employer on an employee's rostered day off, at the rate of double time. Employees working > 3 hours overtime weekdays other than shift workers. Employees on Break from Duty, who resume or continue work without having had ten consecutive hours off duty, will be paid at the rate of double time until released from duty. If an officer is required to work on the Saturday or Sunday immediately following a training course of 5 days or more in duration they would be entitled to be paid at double time for both days If a training course is scheduled on an officer's rostered day off, they may elect to change their days off or if this does not occur, double time is to be paid subject to Regional approval. PTOs are not normally required to work on public holidays and only receive 5 weeks annual leave, therefore the IR Act 1999 applies. The IR Act states that if an employee would ordinarily be required to work on a day on which a public holiday falls, the employee is to be paid at the rate of 1.5 times the hourly rate, in addition to full pay for the day. Public Holidays listed in the Queensland Ambulance Award 2003 are; the 1st January; the 26th January; Good Friday; Easter Saturday (the day after Good Friday); Easter Monday; the 25th April (Anzac Day); The Birthday of the Sovereign; Christmas Day; Boxing Day; or any day appointed under the Holidays Act 1983, to be kept in place of any such holiday

Excess penalty hours worked over the period since the last reconciliation will be paid at the appropriate overtime rate on each occasion that an employee takes annual or long service leave. Formally referred to as Station Officer Loading in Queensland Ambulance Service Employees Award State 2003 clause 5.4.9. QAS EPA 1999 Clause 5.6 (22) (4) states that an OIC paying rent and receiving the 20% loading is to attend first 4 call-outs / 8 hours overtime. Casualty room cases are included in this period. There is no requirement to be on call prior to the commencement of the first shift after or immediately prior to commencing rostered days off or annual leave. If an employee agrees to provide coverage during this time, then they will be recredited a day of annual leave (7.6 hours).

Ask Emergency Services if public holiday penalties are payable on LSL. Answer: No. Long Service Leave is exclusive of Public Holidays. PTOs are not normally required to work on public holidays and only receive 5 weeks annual leave, therefore the IR Act 1999 applies. The IR Act states that if an employee would ordinarily be required to work on a day on which a public holiday falls, the employee is to be paid at the rate of 1.5 times the hourly rate, in addition to full pay for the day.

Casual employees have an entitlement to long service leave if it can be established that they have been regularly and continuously employed by the same employer. However the continuous service ends if the employment is broken by more than 3 months between the end of 1 employment contract and the start of the next employment contract.
The casual entitlement to long service leave is calculated as the number of hours for the complete period of employment worked/52 x 13/10 (Minister for Employment, Training and Industrial Relations Directive No. 3/05).

An employee may have 2 days sick leave without furnishing a medical certificate. When a period of leave exceeds 2 days a medical certificate is required from a duly qualified medical practitioner stating: the nature of the illness the approximate duration of leave required. One certificate is sufficient for 10 consecutive days. Should the period of leave exceed 10 days, or at the discretion of the employer, a certificate is required stating that the employee is fit to resume duty. The time of ceasing duty should be noted on the employee's timesheet and the certificate forwarded to the Workplace Health and Safety Officer. It is not to be attached to the timesheet.

Currently a new DES TOIL Policy is in Draft format waiting approval from all stakeholders
DES Policy TOIL Excluding Senior Officers No deduction Paid N/A Time Off in Lieu (TOIL) of receiving paid overtime will be equivalent to the relevant rate of accrual. For FPO1 and FPO2 TOIL is at overtime rates. For FCO1 & FCO2 TOIL is at overtime rates. No TOIL cannot be accrued on a Public Holiday. TOIL can only be accrued if the period of TOIL covers the full shift (ie TOIL balances cannot accrue from shift overruns). EXCEPTION: In exceptional circumstances, Managers are able to approve the accumulation of TOIL in periods of less than a full shift for employees, provided all other conditions outlined are met (Clause 4.8 of TOIL Policy) The maximum number of hours of TOIL that can be accumulated during a quarter is 40 hours. Any hours accumulated beyond 40 hours will be paid at the relevant overtime rate. FPO1 & FPO2 firefighters can elect to have TOIL instead of overtime. TOIL accumulates at overtime rates. TOIL not taken in 12 months is paid out. Managers may approve the accumulation of TOIL for employees in the following circumstances, where: a) accumulation of TOIL is authorised by an appropriately delegated officer prior to the period of overtime being worked; OR b) the employee responds to an incident that requires a mandatory response or emergency call-out; AND c) it is likely that the employee and their Manager are able to agree on a date to take the accumulated TOIL within a reasonable period. Casual employees and volunteers and auxiliary firefighters are excluded from accruing TOIL.
Clause 6.5.3 of QFRS CA 2006 BAOs who are unable to access their TOIL balance through no fault of their own within 12 months of accruing the TOIL will retain the balance until such time as the TOIL is taken. RFMO1 & RFMO2 TOIL is at the overtime rates.

TOIL will accrue at the relevant rate of accrual. TOIL accumulates at time for time and only for work on weekends.
Prior to commencing relieving the employee will have their accumulated TOIL balance paid at their substantive rate of pay. Employees who accrue TOIL whilst relieving as a Senior Officer will forfeit their TOIL balances as at the clearance dates unless the employee accesses the TOIL whilst relieving or the employee's request to access the TOIL prior to the clearance date is prevented. In these circumstances it may be approved to have the TOIL balance reinstated at the commencement of the next quarter. If an employee returns to their substantive position and has accrued TOIL prior to the clearance date, the employee will be paid any TOIL accumulated whilst relieving as a Senior Officer at their substantive rate of pay.
